iPhone coming to Germany, again on November 9th


The Guardian newspaper seems to have its sources right, as today sees Steve in Germany to announce the availability of the iPhone there. The 8Gb model will go on sale on 9th November (anyone want to bet against a November 9th launch for France being announced tomorrow?), cost €399 ($553 / £276) and will require a 2-year T-Mobile contract. T-Mobile also points out that "By the end of 2007, T-Mobile will be the only network operator in Germany to offer EDGE throughout its entire GSM network" - at least some European operators are ensuring the data technology is commonplace before offering the iPhone. There's currently no word on how much the monthly contract will cost, but I'm sure we'll hear about that shortly.
